TESTING GAS PRESSURE
Before operating the heater, the heater and its gas connections must be leak tested. Do NOT use an open flame to test
for leaks. Test all gas connections for leaks with soapy water or another non-flammable method (see page 14).
The heater and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The heater must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
CHECKING THE GAS PRESSURE THROUGH THE COMBINATION GAS CONTROL VALVE
Risk of fire and explosion. Improper installation, incorrect adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance of the Combination
Gas Control Valve can lead to fire or explosion, causing loss of life, personal injury, and/or property damage. If it is necessary to
adjust the gas valve, this must be done by only by a qualified service agency. These instructions are for the use of qualified
service technicians only!
This appliance is equipped with an unconventional gas control valve that is factory set with a manifold pressure of –.2"
(–0.5cm) wc. Installation or service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. If
this control valve is replaced, it must be replaced with an identical control. The combination gas valve incorporates dual
shut-off valves and a negative-pressure regulator. For proper operation, the regulated pressure at the outlet manifold of
the valve must be –0.2" (–0.5cm) wc below the reference pressure at the blower mixer inlet, and the gas valve 'VENT'
tap must be connected to the end cap air orifice as shown in
adjusting the regulator setting. The correct gas regulator setting is required to maintain proper combustion and
must NOT be altered.
